D    Dmaj7  D6   D              D6
Cheap boat, six-pack something light
D     Dmaj7  D6  D              D6
A fire-ball  burnin' up a blue sky
 G                                   D
Mercury at 93 wasn't even half past noon

D         Dmaj7     D6  D               D6
Our first taste of freedom after high school
D        Dmaj7    D6  D               D6
Breaking hearts, curfews, and mamas rules
G6
I just laugh, thinking about all
              G/B   A D
 the shit we got into
             Em
Yeah, those were the days,
   D/F#                G
we thought we'd never lose

Chorus:
        D       A             Bm
But we did, we missed, how it was when
              G
we were just kids
         D            A
Looking back, on the past,
        Bm                   G
wasn't much but for what we had
        A                      G
Just a couple buds, the and a good buzz is all was
     Bm     A     G                D
But that's what, memories are made of

Its been so long since me and Katie first met
We lost touch as all of the years
went flying past, fading fast
Wishing I could make her mine
There's some things that seem
to take you right back
I see her face every time I hear that
Lynyrd Skynyrd, bottle spin
I'm in her arms, in my mind
Yeah those were the days we thought we'd never lose
(never lose)

Chorus:
But we did
And we miss
How it was when we were just kids
Looking back
On the past
Wasn’t much but it's what we had
Just a good buzz, from a summer love was all it was
Yeah that's what memories are made of

Yeah, those were the days,
we thought we'd never lose

Chorus:
But we did
And we miss
How it was when we were just kids
Looking back
On the past
Wasn’t much but it's what we had
Just a couple buds and a good buzz,
that's all it was
Yeah a summer love was all it was
Yeah that's what memories are made of
